431 Days and determined to never go back. So glad it’s the weekend! Suppose to snow this afternoon and I’m actually excited for it, been an extremely dry winter here. Bbqing steaks with my kids tonight, my daughter has volleyball games Saturday and then making Sunday brunch and watching football. My sober life is quite amazing! Much Love sober friends!!
Good morning everyone! I’m at work for another set of 5 days (after having only 1 day off). Used last night. Money is my number 1 trigger. I swear to God I have to be completely broke for the next little while to get any sort of clean time. Going to be starting Keto in Feb so excited about that. Going to start attending zoom meetings too. Hope everyone is doing well this Friday. Luv to all
Day 61. I successfully made it through my bday sober. It was so cool, my wife took me to a really nice restaurant. I had coffee with my meal, she had a margarita, and I drove home. She doesn’t have a problem and has 1 drink every COUPLE YEARS…so it was nice to give her that rare opportunity and it didn’t even bother me, or trigger me, I felt like a responsible adult.
Halfway thru Day 70. I like saying 10 weeks.
Battling a double ear infection - pain, deafness, instability - no wonder kids scream about it!
Got my ultrasound results - no surprise, fatty liver underway. Mad that the pain hasn’t really disappeared after this long AF, so now have to add significant diet changes to the mix.
Feeling a bit defeated. I guess it is good to have something different to focus on. Ugh.
Checking in on day 222.
@MrsOdh I’m so sorry to hear this, I will keep her in my thoughts
@Rockstar24777 I’m glad to hear you’ve been working through the relationship stuff still!! It seemed like it was only trouble when you guys got back together. Keep up the hard work
I am glad you are back up and moving around!!
Thank you
Tennessee
Ow Sophia. Positive vibes and thoughts towards Tennessee tonight.
Day 423. I have been feeling asthmatic and just got new inhaler. Hope it works. Ugh. Breathing is important.
Day 137: Fighting some darkness. And some urges to drink more than I’ve felt in a while. Not gonna. It’s enticing to consider not feeling anything, but like my mom reminds me a lot, we feel so much with these big hearts of ours. When you love big you can hurt big, too. And we honor our lost loved ones by feeling the loss and remembering them. I’m realizing that when I knew my husband and my pup were doing okay that I could really grieve my loss. That, and realizing that the trauma of his passing is real and I’ll have to deal with it somehow. It’s been a shitty week for me, but I am feeling ready to not be moping so much. I know depression and I know it’s possible to get active through it, even if it’s hard. Sorry, I might be rambling a bit.
Sending love out to you.
Day 454… it’s a blah day, tired but alive and sober so it’s a win.
I’ve been sober for one whole week!
Love and hugs to you friend. You’re dealing with this. Thanks for being here with us.
Goodnight everyone
Wow I’m sorry to hear this, it’s sad news indeed let’s hope she has a speedy recovery,!
Seems like an important point and realisation Jenna. Get your rest. Stay sober and clean. Addiction calls us when we’re most vulnerable. Hugs and love friend.
